Dean Kremer is a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. In 2026 he struck out 86 batters over 90.1 innings across 17 appearances, 17 of them starts, going 5-5. His ERA of 4.68 was 12.0% higher than the league average of 4.18 — 13th of 19 on his team, and 366th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.79 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 28.4% of swings (13.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.6%. His 0.4 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
